ANNUAL MEETING
The Liberal Association of North
Idug ron held their annual meeting
at
"Wingharn Tuesday afternoon last.
There was a good attendance, and
the meeting was an enthusiastic one.
The president, H.B. Elliott, pre-
sided, and. the first -business on the
)program was the election of officers,
'resulting as follows:"Honorary pros
iidents, Morgan Dalton_of Ashfield
;and Gordon Young of. Goderich;
'president, H, B. Elliott, Wingham,•
;first vice-president, Hugh. Hill, Col -
'borne; second vice-president,. Miss P.

dent Mrs. Robert Davidson,. Dun-
gannon secretary, J. J. Robertson,
Colborne; treasurer, William Isbister,

Mon, Nelson Parliament, Liberal Or-
sganI. er; C. A. Robertson, M,L,A., for.
"North Huron, and W. H. Robertson
•of Goderich.
Mr. Parliament stated that a good
'Government had been defeated last
Jsvl Periods of prosperity in Can -
..ala had always been under a Liberal
'Government. Mr. Bennett's blasting
methods with Great Britain had fail -
ped, declared Mr. Parliament. In spite.
sof Mr. Bennett's. promises of pros
perity by means of high tariffs, it
was impossible to see that prosper-
ity so far. The speaker thought the
next Doninion election would be
sought on the tariff, the Liberals
s'tasading' for low tariff and the Con-
sservattives for high tariff.
W. I. Robertson, who was the
!Liberal candidate in this riding in the
:last federal election, discussed: the re
.•cent election from a local standpoint:
Ale said' Mr. Spotton had won the
.election as a professedly low -tariff
`man, claiming .he was opposed to
high tariffs; yet, said Mr. Robertson,
Spotton had gone to Ottawa and
voted for a so-called tariff-gone-mad.
:policy. Mr, Robertson challenged
.IVIr. Spotton to resign and submit .his
.course for approval to the electorate
ref North . Huron. C. A. Robertson,
31.1,.A., dealt with provincial issues
;in his' address. He censured the:
heavy expenditures the Government'
-was adding to the taxation of the
people. The'new system of school.
Brants was on the whole unfavorable
to _ the people • of North Huron, de-
clared Mr. Robertson.

AN EVENING OF FUN, FROLIC AND SPORT
BEING ARRANGED FOR BENEFIT CARNIVAL
Preparations of nearly a inonth are
bringing forth excellent results in the
programme for the big Hospital night
at the Arena on June 5th. The Cham-
ber of Commerce is grateful for the
active co-operation of The <Wingham
Citizens' Band, The Arena Co., and
Moffat's Orchestra, whose free serv-
ices, cheerfully given in aid of the
Hospital Benefit Fund on this occas-
ion, show a splendid' community, spirit
well worthy of emulation.
The Chamber of Commerce, ever
mindful of the fact that it is their
duty and privilege to serve, have tried
to make the evening of June 5th an
event long to be remembered in the
community. Therefore the children

line below the plans which will be
very interesting to then.

issue sets forth the variety and wide
appeal of a program that is sure to
interest many. Such fun and frolic
will drive away all cares and you will
lose yourselves in the pure enjoy-
ment of the evening's entertainment
which will be hard to beat anywhere.

ried on after 1.1 p.m. Moffat's orch-
estra will supply the music and you
